Great video… especially continuing your analysis into the middle/endgame. Bravo, Solomon! ;-)

Thanks Robert! Appreciate that! (I might have to make a video discussing your a6 and then d5 discovery soon!) What do we call it though? The Ebobster System?

After queen d8 the computer really wants the queen on a5, plus its more active there and I dont like undeveloping pieces so I think I'll go for that and see how that goes.

Thanks Solomon. I get the Austrian Attack all the time when I play the Pirc, so it's great to understand how to handle it when I change things up to the Modern.

You got it! Thanks for tuning in, I am a big fan of this approach against the 3 Pawns Attack of the Modern Defense, reminds me of the Gurgenidze System (of the Caro-Kann Defense) tbh

Hi Solomon.. Good video. SF somehow prefers Nh6 over h5 because it always manages to get in h5 in later if needed (to stop g4) but I follow your recommendation here of h5 first & it has worked pretty well for me (most times! lol). Another point is that once black has white pinned down defending d4 he can up the pressure by attacking the tip of the central wedge with f6 when white has a devil of a time defending his center while also keeping his king safe on the newly opened lines & vulnerable squares. All & all in my experience it seems like white does better playing nc6 before f4, just to avoid black locking up white’s center with d5. Cheers!

Just to be clear...would this be your approach as opposed to working toward the full, thick-skinned Hippo? Cause you did cover the 3-pawn center in your course...

@TheChessGiant 10 ай бұрын

In this case, you would probably best do with either this OR a Pseudo Hippo. I have covered the chess opening theory as a Hippo player against the d4/e4/f4 setup. You can still enter into this by playing 3. ...d6! Hope this helps, thanks. (Also, when I see the e4/d4/c4 center, I just go into a full thick-skinned hippo. That side is a lot less scary in terms of our king safety.

Nice!! Glad you liked it and that is cool you are doing that. I learned how to play at 7 and played in my first USCF chess tournament at 8!

Before the video: Its kinda funny for me with 1.f4 g6 2. e4 Bg7 is already an inaccuracy followed up by d4 to get to this position. And d5?? I play e5 and in my games I got 7.5/8 online; looks kinda trash After the video (just watched the e5 part): I get your idea but if you don't like those structurs its just weird to play. The thing is noone played this agsinst me. I got one Nh6 game. And now that I know the plan I can counter it with Be3 to counter an c5 push which is posible early on when Bd3 is played first which is bad cause you dont wanna exchange it anyways. Maybe its because I play this stuff 1. f4 e6 2. e4 d5 3. e5 c5 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. c3 Nge7 6. Na3 Nf5 7. Nc2 Be7 8. d4 and now with g6 Bg7 its just an worse version in my opnion. My recomendation: I would play instead of d5 c5. winrates are better, taking is bad and pushing also gets you some problems with 5...d6 Its hard to keep the advantage against 6....Nf6 for example 6.c4 and the bishop diagonal is open. Also you can attack the centre early on with e6. White can't push cause d5(d4) cant help e5 Its just easier to play. 6. c3 will also run into e6 and a weak canter. I dont think 6. a4 which is the only good move, also quite strong, will be played that often...(The idea is Bb5+ bla bla bla...) Video things: I would lean more focus on the f6 break and the c5 gambit after d5 or b6 c5.

Thanks for the response brotha! Ya I hear what you are saying, and this is definetely not for everyone. But, I do think it's sound for black (according to Stockfish) and I get good games with this. But, the key is to play h5 and Nh6, which many players (as you mentioned) don't play this. We should play a game sometime in this variation! Even with Be3 black will be okay with eventual moves like h5/Nh6/Nbd7/a6/Bf8/Rc8.... and eventually c5. I've found many players as black do well with this, but only if they do what was mentioned in the video. If you don't play h5 and Nh6, black is simply not great here in my opinion. Thoughts? And let's play a game! Thanks, Solomon

@@TheChessGiant Looking forward to it. And yeah h5 is necessary. Its in a way really solid and white cant get through
